... so then why the price increases?

Even if the price change is not due to an actual collected tariff, the mere announcement of tariffs caused price changes, for both imported and domestic products.

In economics, this is referred to as "bad news"

I understand some of the uses for used cooking oil, I'm just shocked that there's an import market for it from China.

We have a commercial french fry fryer on practically every block, and businesses dedicated to collecting that used oil.

Economics says this is actually desirable if you are pushing to reduce imports, expande exports.

Brutal on American consumers, good for American producers. But that has to be offset by the CRAZY in the White House that actually is destroying export markets.

So, it's just all stick, no carrot.

California electricity sources, June 2025 average over the month. h/t Paul Krugman

A plot of various sources of electrical generation, with a big fat chunk of solar in the middle of the day, and a tail of battery discharge from that solar surplus in the evening hours. Solar basically replaces imports (from other states) and gas during daylight hours.

“Repeal and Replace” should be called “Destroy and Decimate”

If only they were in charge and could write and pass their own beautiful healthcare plan to help Americans.

That is Joe Biden’s ‘turn everyone trans’ switch. Not sure why you got one, policy wasn’t going to take effect until 2nd term due to critical lack of 8’ tall electricians.

agreed, but the other numbers that the white house has provided are not actually investments - they are trade exchanges, so basically net zero

I challenge this deranged chump to name

1) one "Democrat program"
2) one "Republican program"

since that's not the way laws work - they apply to all citizens, regardless of how they happened to vote in any given election.
